    I chose their switching service.

    Ulster bank offered me switching service and I refused, call me a coward but I used to work for a bank and took calls for " switching department" and it was a nighmare, all phone told us on display which line calls were coming in on , switching, savings, banking and when we seen switching we all dreaded it lol

    I did all my DD myself and just waiting on mortgage company to confirm new DD and thats mine all switched over. All I need now is them to start taking the money which should start 4th November.

    Phew, I'm in the clear :)

    Just got off the phone to a lovely lady. She has reversed the two charges and the £5 interest on those 2 charges. She has made sure the 1.9% promo rate is still on, and she manually set up my DD :)

    Plus, she said that no black mark will be made against my report as a payment has to be more than 30 days late before they report it as a late payment.

    I am nervous about this switching service. I haven't changed my salary details so that will be paid into my Barclays as usual tomorrow. Fortunately I have a £1.5k o/d with A&L so if any DDs come out of there then they will be covered. So I will just transfer the money from Barclays to A&L. Bit random that I don't know which account the DDs will come out of. I'll just have to keep a close eye this month I think!

    Doelani, why didn't you like the switching calls?? What was so bad with them??
